I've been "Missing In Action" for a couple of days; here's why:
An update from your Editor/Curator about what's been going on...
Dear Readers-
Sorry to have been out of touch for a couple of days; it was “involuntary.”
This past Thursday, around noon, the Substack platform I use for this newsletter took me “off the air” for an unspecified violation of Community Standards.
Of course, I immediately complained, only through email, that I’d been blocked improperly.
My writer’s dashboard was prevented from creating new postings AND worse, my subscriber list was blocked and grayed out so I couldn’t even see it or access it.
[Shades of “Big Brother.”]
I was very pissed, needless to say.
What in the hell is a “Violation of Community Standards?”
That’s a catch-basin indictment WITHOUT ANY SPECIFICITY.
How can one respond intelligently to that charge without any exact feedback?
In any event, yesterday afternoon, I received this email response to my complaint.
Please note, I’ve redacted the customer service agent’s name:

Hi there,
Name redacted here from Substack Trust & Safety. Thanks for taking the time to submit this appeal.
It appears that one of our platform safety detection mechanisms erroneously flagged your publication as spam. I've reactivated your account so you should be able to start publishing again immediately. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's any other way I can assist.
Best,

** So, it would appear VaxxFacts.info is back online.
Please check this website’s functionality from your end, i.e, click on links, scrub back through past posts to see if they are still available if you click on them, and please forward a couple of articles to yourself or friends to make sure everything is working correctly. And then let me know.
Moving forward, I’ve had a couple of readers give recent feedback that I’m sending TOO many updates each day… they can’t get to them.
I typically send out 5-8 separate news item updates separately every day.
As you can see, they’re sent individually, with very clear headlines, subheads, and a photo so you can determine if they are of interest and click through, if appropriate.
Alternatively, I am willing to send out a single newsletter update (normally one per day) which will then contain multiple stories and multiple links inside a single email, however, the headline will be more challenging to create to cover multiple topics.
Note: There are simply too many critical “alternative news” pieces each day for me to pick only one to focus on, ergo the multiple individual updates or the need to include multiple story links in a single daily email.
I want to be responsive to your needs.
Kindly give me some feedback as to what articles you’d like to see and how you’d like them sent to you:
continuing as individual email updates with a clear single topic and headline
OR
“mashed-up” as a single daily email with multiple stories and links in a single outbound alert.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Sam Kephart
P.S. Also, please SHARE more of these articles (and this newsletter - it’s free) with friends, family, business associates, and “normies” you may know who are motivated to finally “wake up.”
As I’ve stated before, this curated alternative news update service is NOT a source of “Absolute TRUTH.”
For that, kindly read the Bible and/or other reliable religious texts and insightful philosophies.
We DO work to share truths (note the lower case t), i.e., alternative views and backstories regarding the hidden nature of our current shared reality.
No guarantees, however, the general views expressed here are designed to get you to do more research on your own… I don’t expect you to take my word for it.
You need to become seekers of the truth for yourselves.
I like having the multi emails with subject. If I don’t have time to read will save the ones I want and get to later
